After the more poppy sounding Screamworks, I was a bit worried that this album might be more of the same. I was so glad to find out I was wrong! It's much heavier like Venus Doom and has much better instrumental parts in the middle of the songs. My only complaint is Ville's vocals. Since he stopped smoking, he doesn't sing as deep and low as he did before Screamworks. However, his vocals are still pretty good and enjoyable overall and it doesn't ruin the album. Venus Doom is still my most favorite album, but this one comes pretty close. Overall, I'd give it an 8/10.
